According to reports from the Greensboro Coliseum, senior power forward/center Garrison Brooks didn’t participate in warmups for North Carolina as the Tar Heels get set to play Notre Dame at the 2021 ACC Tournament.

Brooks appeared in all 25 games this season — marking 22 starts. He averaged 10.6 points and 6.9 rebounds per game.

UNC heads back to the locker room. Brooks did not participate in warmups, so it's looking as though he will not play tonight. No official word yet.

Brooks scored 14 points in 25 minutes during North Carolina’s regular season finale — a win over Duke. Brooks, however, did leave that game for a period of time due to an ankle injury.
